Reform’s ‘Shadow Home Secretary’ Zia Yusuf is in Dover to unveil a raft of migration policies. They include: delivering “net negative” migration, revoking visas from six countries and creating a mass deportations force. Nigel Farage is on stage too. Watch live below…
Read Yusuf’s policies in full below:
Stopping the invasion and mass deportations
Leave the ECHR: Pledges to leave the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights Act, replacing it with a British Bill of Rights.
New Legislation: Introduction of the “Illegal Migration Mass Deportation Act” to legally compel the Home Secretary to deport illegal migrants and block judges from intervening.
UK Deportation Command: Creation of a new agency with the capacity to detain 24,000 migrants at a time and deport up to 288,000 annually.
Logistics: Charter flights to run five times daily, supported by a standby RAF Voyager aircraft.
Averting the “Boriswave” fiscal disaster
Abolishing ILR: Indefinite Leave to Remain will be scrapped and replaced with a renewable five-year work visa and dedicated spouse visa with higher salary thresholds and strict English tests.
Welfare Ban: Immediate termination of Universal Credit welfare payments to foreign nationals.
Visa Freezes: Immediate suspension of visa issuance for countries that refuse to take back deported nationals, explicitly naming Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan.
Getting the knives off our streets and focusing police on arresting criminals
Focus on Core Duties: Police will be stripped of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) mandates and the policing of legal speech, refocusing entirely on detecting crime and arresting criminals.
Expanded Powers: A vast expansion of Stop and Search powers, including “saturation policing” in high-crime areas.
Prison Expansion: A commitment to use emergency powers to build massive new prison capacity, heavily criticising the Conservative record of adding only 411 places over 14 years.
Targeting Extremism and Preserving British Culture
Proscribing Extremist Groups: Immediate proscription of the Muslim Brotherhood and IRGCas a terrorist organisation.
Mandatory Home Searches: A new rule mandating automatic physical home searches for anyone referred to PREVENT by three separate, corroborating authorities. Axel Rudakabana, the Southport killer, was referred three times. Had this rule been in place, it may have prevented the atrocity.
PREVENT Overhaul: Stripping the PREVENT counter-terror program of “diversity training” to focus on Islamist extremism, proportionate to MI5’s caseload.
Protecting Britain’s Christian heritage: Granting immediate listed status to all churches to legally prevent their conversion into mosques or other places of worship.
